It has been a great experience working on this project with Red Hat and the open source community, especially on a tool that has so much potential. If you’d like to contribute to the language server, the repository can be found here. Since XML is a subset of HTML we were able to build upon the underlying structure of the HTML language server, which in return enabled us to quickly start work on XML specific features. Initiated by Angelo, this language server is a port of Microsoft’s fault-tolerant HTML language server, that we have developed in Java.
Some upcoming additions will include major improvements and fixes to DTD and XSD support, which will complement the entire XML suite. The amount of features will only keep growing, with our second version having recently been released with great improvements, such as local schema caching for faster load times. The XML language server is currently available in VSCode (via Red Hat’s XML extension), Eclipse LSP4E, and soon in Eclipse Che, which should be available in early 2019. Watch a demo of the XML VS Code Extension Combined, all these features make it much easier for developers to work on any type of project involving XML, from the comfort of their favorite editor or IDE. At the moment we appear to have the most feature rich XML language server implementation, including our Schema-based support which is an essential XML feature that we are most proud of. Through the XML language server, developer tools like VSCode and Eclipse receive XML syntax highlighting and checking, code completion, document folding, etc. For my first and ongoing project as an intern at Red Hat, I’ve been working alongside Angelo Zerr and Fred Bricon to develop an implementation of the Language Server Protocol (LSP) for XML.
